What is the Bike Month Challenge?
Organised by Love to Ride, It’s a fun, friendly bike challenge with a bit of friendly competition for workplaces. Participation is key – the workplaces that get the highest percentage of their staff riding bikes will top the leaderboards. There are lots of prizes up for grabs for individual riders, from new bike gear to £2,000 cash!
